Forget the Elephants, Watch Out for the Fleas: It's the Small Issues That Create the Big Problems

Many people have heard the saying "the elephant in the room," meaning an issue that is impossible to overlook (no matter how hard you try!). The strange thing is, most people seem to concentrate and focus only on these big issues, thinking that if they are worked out and sorted out, everything else will be fine. But what we really need to look out for are the "fleas," the small issues. These little, pesky, and annoying things in life have the ability to become quite large over time, possibly as big as an elephant, and they need to be overcome and eradicated before that happens. Justin Herald tackles the areas that are most likely to be the fleas in people's lives, so they can recognize and resolve them before they grow into larger and more difficult-to-handle problems. It's the small issues that can create big problems, so forget the elephants, and watch out for the fleas.
